8/28 – Brittany’s “Pleasant” Sunday Evening Forecast

A broad ridge of high pressure will remain over the northern gulf through the week promoting onshore flow with showers and thunderstorms expected each day.

Starting out the new work week with some patchy fog possible across SW MS and maybe as far as around Baton Rouge daybreak. However, coverage and density will be dependent on if locations saw rain this evening enough to saturate the grounds in helping fog production/maintenance. Elsewhere things will be quiet to start the day with high pressure remaining in control of the eastern US, helping to continue to pump deep gulf moisture north over the MS River Valley ahead of an ESE surging cold front across the Plains/Midwestern states. Worthy to point out looking at GOES-16 IR currently is a blow up of convection in the western Gulf. This is in conjunction with weak closed mid-level low and associated vorticity. This little system eventually becomes stretched out meridinonally and pulled north into eastern TX/western LA thru the day on Monday, helping to surge much higher PW`s north along with it into the area. What this in turn means for us is another uptick in shower/storm coverage primarily from late morning through early evening.
